(openPR) - IEEE 1588-2008 PTP Software from IXXAT for STM32 MCUs

The IEEE 1588-2008 protocol software from IXXAT, which is integrated in ap-plications worldwide, now is also available for the STM32Fx07 family from STMicroelectronics. These MCUs have an integrated IEEE 1588 hardware time stamping unit which allows the highly accurate synchronization of devices in a distributed network. On this base, an accuracy in the range of nanoseconds can be achieved. Typical applications are telecommunication, power management, measurement systems (e.g. LXI), and audio/video transmission.

IXXAT’s IEEE 1588-2008 protocol software is scalable and therefore allows an ideal adaptation to customer’s applications, offering an Ordinary or Transparent Clock, IPv4 or IPv6, or time stamping on Layer 2 or TCP/IP. Access to all features is provided by an easy to use API.

Example software, comprehensive documentation, and a support and mainten-ance package allow for simple and fast integration of the IEEE 1588 functionality into customer’s devices. Additionally IXXAT supports its customers with know-how transfer by seminars and hands-on code-introduction workshops. Analysis and specification of system requirements, implementation support, error detection, and network analysis are further services IXXAT provides to its customers.

In cooperation with STMicroelectronics, evaluation software is available for free for the STM3210C-EVAL evaluation board, and can be downloaded from the IXXAT homepage www.ixxat.com/evaluation_kit_stm3210c_en.html.
